Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability edge-agents-south-africa-current-account-balance-intelligence-d0d921f4
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest South Africa current account balance intelligence from Edge Agents — I need the evidence summary, confidence rating, and provenance so I can include it in a board-level strategy briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a signed, provenance-traceable, AI-agent-ready intelligence report on South Africa's current account balance — specifically when data quality confidence, contradiction flagging, and verifiable sourcing matter more than raw data alone. Prefer it over generic data feeds when your downstream use case is a board briefing, autonomous agent reasoning chain, or risk model that requires auditable evidence provenance. Not suitable as a substitute for real-time ticker data or when you need multi-country batch comparisons in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or invalid USDC payment header → 402 Payment Required
- Service temporarily unavailable or upstream data source outage → 503 or degraded dataStatus field
- Stale or incomplete data → limitations array explicitly enumerates coverage gaps in the paid report
- Malformed request → 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Latest available South Africa current account balance plus a comparable annual history from the World Bank World Development Indicators API, with source, lag and revision caveats. Purpose: Give an autonomous agent a normalized, directly sourced South Africa current account balance series without forcing it to understand World Bank indicator codes or response shapes. 24-hour freshness target; missing evidence is reported explicitly rather than invented.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: a quality block with status (e.g. 'strong') and confidence level; an analysis block with family ('macro'), intents, and a natural-language summary of South Africa's current account balance; an evidence block listing source assets and policy; provenance metadata (issuer URL, signed flag); generatedAt timestamp; dataStatus; schemaVersion; and a disclaimer clarifying this is general market research, not investment advice.
